What does the leadership team need to get better at?

My immediate superior is fine, but upper management is awful. Major changes aren't even known about til a few days before they go live. There's almost no communication between them and our boss.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I'm not fairly compensated for the work I do. New people earn more than me, but still no raise despite my seniority and knowledge. Instead of meaningful acknowledgement, we're given a pizza party and a generic "thank you" letter to all employees.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

If SSM health wishes to succeed, it needs to elevate the critical staff it relies on to function, and it needs to develop better communication strategies. Several departments are fed up with lack of appreciation from management, and a total lack of communication.

What are some of the best things about your team?

My coworkers ought to put less effort into their job to justify how much we're getting paid (much less than a livable wage). I like them, but some of them work too hard for the company, which takes us for granted. If we're expected to work harder during COVID, they should give us critical pay.
